The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act gives Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the control of hazard wastes during the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal stages. It also allows the EPA to address problems to the environment that could be caused from hazardous wastes in the ground. Ammendments given to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act focus on minimizing waste and getting rid of land disposal of hazardous waste ("Summary of the Resource" 2008).
